Tomorrows Teacher!

What makes me think of becoming a teacher in the future? Do I possess the qualities that a good teacher may have? Can I bear the responsibilities that may come in the future if I chose to become a teacher? This is just some of the questions that I have asked myself before I chose Education as my course. But how do we define teacher? First, a teacher is a person who provides schooling for others. Another is that a teacher is simply a person who informs students about "necessary information”. But for me a teacher is an angel who makes difference to the lives of their students. They bear the heavy responsibility of molding the minds of their students. They become the role model of this nation. Their desire to change lives is somewhat one of a good quality that a future teacher must possess. There are other good qualities that a future teacher may have; one is that she must have a purpose. She must first consider the needs of her students because whatever will be her decisions, the outcome will still affect her students. Second, she must learn to communicate. My own teacher once told us that as a teacher, we must not just stand in front and go on with the lesson. Instead you must create a good atmosphere wherein there is what we call collaboration between the teacher as well as the student. Oftentimes, we fear standing in front of the class but as a future teacher, we must learn to deal with that fear and instead build our confidence. Lastly, a teacher must also work with the students, as what I have said earlier; there must be collaboration between the teacher and the student. Remember that you as a teacher also serve as a motivation to your students. We all know that teaching may not make a person rich, but somehow you are helping improve the minds of the future generations. If there is a desire to be a teacher in the future, we must always remember that we have a great impact to the lives of our future students and that to be an educator is one of the most important professions in the world!
